“I try to mask my pain in front of a beautiful woman, it makes me seem more masculine.”

“I’ve done a night jump into a drop zone under heavy fire sir. I can handle it.”

“There are dogs tracking us, and you bring a prosciutto sandwich.”

“You’ve got the rest of your life to wrestle with the question - who are you without him?” 

“Protection. One word. Sometimes, to protect one man against himself other times, to protect the planet against an alien invasion from another universe. It’s a broad job description.”

“His file say anything about him being homicidal?”

“This is my fault. Should have learned kung fu.”

“You looked very peaceful sleeping. Didn’t want to wake you, but I’m glad that you’re up.”

”Soon as I had the upper hand, I put two in the back of his head.”

“This would have been a piece of cake if you’d let us use these big boy guns.”

“At some point, you might have mentioned that backup was a lethal cyborg.”

“Did you never learn the thing where girl parts and boy parts are different and our parts are not penises?”

“And I kind of hoped you weren’t the duplicitous lowlife you turned out to be, but here we are.”

“Do you - do you think this has been easy on me? Do you have any idea how hard it was? The sacrifices, the decisions I had to make? But I made them. Because that’s what I do. I’m a survivor.”

“I wanted it to be a person, some super-powered psychopath - someone I could hurt, someone I could… punish. That I could do. What I can’t do is protect you guys from stuff I can’t even see or understand.”

“No. It is my fault. I let you all hollow me out, control me.”

“You can’t reconcile all the ugly, horrible things you do with the hero you so desperately want to become.”

‘SCANDAL’ ASK MEME.

I took the angstiest, bitterest, most heartbreaking quotes from the show and threw them on here. Enjoy! Also, feel free to change the pronouns to fit the situation.

❛ I’ve gone to being his bitch to yours. ❜ ❛ Mediocrity is not an option for me. I don’t want that and neither should you. ❜ ❛ I got here because I managed to escape you. ❜ ❛ If I only went where I was welcomed, I’d never leave the house. ❜ ❛ Are you still getting married? ❜ ❛ Do you want me to get married? ❜ ❛ He has a weakness. If I exploit it, maybe I can get information out of him/her. ❜ ❛ For a screw up, you’re actually very bright. ❜ ❛ Don’t insult me by lying to my face. ❜ ❛ I’m done. I told you we’re done. We’re over. ❜ ❛ You do not summon me! ❜ ❛ She’s/he’s perfect. But she’s not you. ❜ ❛ Do not tell me what I have to do. You don’t get to do that anymore. ❜ ❛ Screw as many whores as you want. I wouldn’t expect anything less. ❜ ❛ Do you not understand that when the monster gets hungry he will turn around and eat you? ❜ ❛ I’m playing the game and I’m playing it better than anyone. ❜ ❛ You’re one creepy bastard, you know that? ❜ ❛ The truth of the matter is that I’ll never love anyone as much as I love you. You have never chosen me. We’ve done horrible things to one another, but for some reason, I still end up here in front of you… Looking at you. Wanting you. In love with you. ❜ ❛ I don’t want to marry her. I want to be with you. Do you want to be with me? ❜ ❛ I want us to stand in the sun together. ❜ ❛ The only difference is that I’m in love with you. Some people would call that a defect. ❜ ❛ I asked you to save me… and you said no. ❜ ❛ I am better than you. ❜ ❛ When you walk in here, you make me hope. ❜ ❛ We’re not ever going to be over. I am never going to be over you. ❜ ❛ If you want me, earn me! ❜ ❛ Come back to me. Forgive me. I love you. ❜ ❛ I think you believe that I will never choose you. ❜ ❛ Call my bluff. I dare you. ❜ ❛ I may not be able to control my erections around you, but that does not mean I want you. ❜ ❛ It’s you. You’re difficult. ❜ ❛ It’s because you found your precious _____ doesn’t have the secrets of the universe tucked between her magical thighs. That she’s just a person like everyone else and that she’s capable of using you like everyone else. ❜ ❛ You’re not you anymore. You know who you are? You know who you’ve become? You’re your father. ❜ ❛ Go screw yourself. And when you’re done with that, you can go straight to hell and screw yourself there. ❜ ❛ I am not a murderer and I am not a liar, and I am not going anywhere. So the sooner you get over it, the better. ❜ ❛ You ruined me. I’m ruined! ❜ ❛ You own me! You control me! I belong to you! You think I don’t want to be a better man? You don’t think that I want to dedicate myself to my marriage? ❜ ❛ I love you. I’m in love with you. You are the love of my life. My every feeling is controlled by the look on your face. I can’t breathe without you. I can’t sleep without you. I wait for you, I watch for you. I exist for you. If I could escape all of this and run away with you… ❜ ❛ I wasn’t thinking about you. I don’t think about you. ❜ ❛ Marriage can wreak havoc on a person. ❜ ❛ Please stop. Please stop getting my hopes up. ❜ ❛ What? Did you think you’d find me drunk and playing Russian Roulette? ❜ ❛ You are the biggest bitch I know. Don’t tell me you can’t do this. ❜ ❛ There’s no gratitude in parenting. I don’t know why we do it. ❜ ❛ You should never apologize for being you. ❜ ❛ You should know… I hope you know… I did my best for you. I take tremendous pride in who you have become. ❜ ❛ This isn’t you. You are a measly little troll and I don’t like you, and I do not respect you, and I think you’re pathetic. ❜ ❛ The plan is to find him, and when I do, I”m going to look him in the eye and put a bullet in his head. ❜ ❛ How does someone as brilliant, as accomplished as you, not know what you are, who you are? ❜ ❛ You’re not ready. And you never will be. ❜ ❛ We should’ve locked ourselves in a room together and gotten drunk years ago. ❜ ❛ I haven’t had this much fun spending the night with a woman in, hell, ever. ❜ ❛ You’re complimenting me. Is this some new, genius way of putting the screws to me? ❜ ❛ I wish we’d never met. But we did. And I tried… I tried and failed. And tried and failed again to hide… To stop loving him. But I couldn’t. I was weak. I hated myself. I wore this ring to remind myself of my weakness. ❜ ❛ This is amazing. She has actually managed to go from being a slut, to being an every-woman, to being your sister-wife in under 48 hours. I didn’t even know that was possible. ❜ ❛ I’m damaged. She doesn’t like to yell at me. ❜ ❛ You took in a wild monster and you groomed me and petted me and trained me to sit at your feet. But that doesn’t mean I’m a puppy. That just makes me a very loyal monster. So I don’t go too far. I went exactly as far as my leash allows and you hold the leash. You went too far. ❜ ❛ You should’ve never given me someone to love. Monsters eat people. It’s what we do. ❜ ❛ It’s a gesture. It means I’m sorry. People get coffee when they’re sorry. I can get you tea instead. ❜ ❛ Stock your damn fridge. If I’m going to be your fake boyfriend/girlfriend all day, I’m going to come home at the end of it and drink real beer and eat real food. ❜ ❛ You have no idea how my world works. ❜ ❛ Girls like to me kissed first, right? Romance them a little before you drive right into their pants. ❜ ❛ One, I am not a hen. Two, I am not a prize at the state fair. You cannot win me! ❜ ❛ Life is unfortunate. Random. Coincidental. Bad things happen to good people all the time. ❜ ❛ Run away with me. Save me. ❜ ❛ I lie in bed every night and I play our relationship over and over again in my head like a movie. We meet. We fall in love. We can’t stop ourselves. We’re meant to be. I give up everything inside of me and then it stops. The movie just stops. I don’t know how it ends. ❜ ❛ The last thing this needs is another sex scandal. Stay away from her. ❜ ❛ I don’t want us to fight anymore. If you don’t hurt me, I won’t hurt you. ❜ ❛ Oh look, it’s the girl who can’t shut her legs or her mouth. ❜ ❛ You’ve always been the other guy and the whats-his-name. Good, fine, but never great. We both know the reason they call it a race, the reason there is a winner, is because someone wins. And it’s never you. ❜ ❛ Whew. We sleep better when she’s lying between us. ❜ ❛ I am not a toy you can play with when you’re bored or lonely or horny. I am not the girl the guy gets at the end of the movie. I am not a fantasy. If you want me, earn me. Until then, we are done. ❜ ❛ The irony is he/she chose you because he thought you would be loyal. ❜ ❛ Want me to have the chef send you up some fried chicken? ❜ ❛ Let’s face it, baby. This is all about you. And you just want me to play my part as the co-star, the dutiful wife who smiles and acts proud of you. ❜ ❛ I kept my distance from you because I was terrified of what he might be. Turns out he was yours the whole time. But he was always mine, or at least he should’ve been. ❜ ❛ If we’re going to die, can we do it now so I don’t have to listen to the two of you? ❜ ❛ It’s my turn! He suffers. He hurts. He  burns. I’m tired of carrying the cross. Let him pick it up now. ❜ ❛ I want his head in the fire and I want to see him burn. I want to hand him the one piece of news that will destroy him and I want to watch his face when it happens. ❜ ❛ Somebody out there wants me dead. ❜ ❛ Don’t patronize me like I’m some hysterical teenage girl at the beginning of my cycle. ❜ ❛ It hurts until it doesn’t. You think it’s going to break you, but it won’t. You may not sleep as well at night, but you will be fine. Numb, but numb and fine are the same. ❜ ❛ You’re worried about him cheating on me? That’s… oddly sweet. ❜ ❛ I’d say this a new low. ❜ ❛ You don’t have to love me, but we are in this hell together and the flames are burning both of us with equal intensity, baby, so the least you can do is be my friend. ❜ ❛ I just don’t understand why I have to apologize for his affair. ❜ ❛ Give any piece of trailer trash a push-up bra and a microphone and those stupid flyovers will eat it up like fried Twinkies. ❜ ❛ As long as she’s still alive, well, she’s your flaw. Your Achilles heel. Which makes her my weapon. ❜ ❛ So cheers, baby. Drink up. I live to fight another day. ❜ ❛ I’d lose… Our little war, I’d lose. ❜ ❛ That’s impossible. A lady never gets drunk. ❜ ❛ You’re drunk, _____. ❜ ❛ The upsetting thing about being as educated as I am and as intelligent as I am is that being the First Lady is profoundly boring. ❜ ❛ Aren’t you part of ‘they’ now? One-third of some secret, unholy trinity? ❜ ❛ This is me being in love with another woman. ❜ ❛ Does it ever bother you? All the lies, all the pretending? And that’s not an accusation cause I do it too and I do it well. ❜ ❛ She’s perfect, but she is not you. ❜ ❛ You are the one I like to ride, but no one will ever ride you like I do. ❜ ❛ I’m just a twisted sociopath who gets what she wants, no matter who gets bulldozed along the way. ❜ ❛ I can’t do this… Be with you. I can’t be with you. I’m sorry. ❜ ❛ You love me. You love me! ❜ ❛ I can’t be with you. It’s not even that I can’t, I don’t want to. ❜ ❛ You’re not good enough for me. ❜ ❛ You’re weak. You need me too much. Need me to tell you what to do and how to feel and– you were never an option for me. ❜ ❛ You’re an escape, someone to toy with. You’re a yo-yo, a booty call, a side piece. ❜ ❛ Frankly, it’s embarrassing that you still haven’t realized, after all this time, that if we were together – actually together – I would tear right through you. Destroy you. ❜ ❛ You’re scared of what we have… Of having something real. ❜ ❛ You’re wrong. I’m not scared. I may be horrible, because I’m abandoning you, because I always abandon you, but I’m not scared. Not the least bit. ❜ ❛ You’re wrong. And pathetic. ❜ ❛ I could tell you five minutes from now that I want to be with you, that I want to save you… You would crawl back to me, forgive me, every single time. ❜ ❛ He is who I choose. He is who I will always choose. You are just a lesser version of him, a sad reminder of the man I truly deserve. ❜ ❛ I will slit his throat. If he learns that I’m the one who made you break his heart, that too will force me to slit his throat. ❜ ❛ If I were you, I would pick up whatever chips I have left and run. ❜ ❛ I’m sorry, the truth does not work. It does not work for me. ❜ ❛ If you try to tell that disgusting fairytale, I will make such a scene. ❜ ❛ I will open up our closet and I will pull out our dirty laundry with the world. I am that tired. ❜ ❛ What’d you call me? Ornamental? Not functional? I am a rose dying on a vine here. ❜ ❛ You missed out on your happy ending today. ❜ ❛ Her being blown to bits… That’s your dream, isn’t it? ❜ ❛ I am spectacular, but I can’t compete with religious fervor. ❜ ❛ I thought, hey! Let’s get some estrogen in here, see what happens! ❜ ❛ What’s wrong? What’s wrong? What is wrong? This is my life! That is what’s wrong! ❜ ❛ I am tired of doing everything myself! I am alone here! ❜ ❛ Let’s not pretend we’re something we’re not. ❜ ❛ If you knew the sacrifices I have made, the things I have given up, and the pieces of myself that I have given away for you… and you treat me this way? You declare war on me and you shame me and you make me beg for scraps when I have done nothing but fight for you. ❜ ❛ When I was faced with the chance to cheat, I kept my knees together and I said no. ❜ ❛ What does it feel like? To be so hot for someone, to be so turned-on by them that you would put everything you ever worked for at risk? Does it feel good? Is it an amazing high? ❜ ❛ Really? So me sticking my fingers down your throat, that was what, a typical Tuesday night? ❜ ❛ Do you want me to thank you? Thank you for saving me from my sad little suicide attempt? ❜ ❛ Are you insane like him, or just stupid? ❜ ❛ You’re ornamental. Not functional. So don’t come in here and try to use your brain because no one cares! ❜ ❛ You always did know just the right way to hurt me. ❜ ❛ Relax, I’m kidding… For now. ❜ ❛ I’m sick of smiling. I’m sick of acting like we’re happy. ❜ ❛ She’s not my mistress anymore, so buck up. You won. ❜ ❛ We can’t always get what we want, can we? ❜ ❛ I thought you tried to kill me, the night I was shot. ❜ ❛ I would never try to kill you. ❜ ❛ You’re the only one who has always been honest who you were. ❜ ❛ Do you love me? Enough to… to be on my side? No matter what happens. ❜ ❛ I have never left my side. You left mine, but I never left yours. ❜ ❛ And yes, I do love you. No matter what. I have always loved you. No matter what. ❜ ❛ We’re in this together, okay? We have to be in this together because I don’t have anybody else. I don’t. You’re all I have. ❜ ❛ It’s you and me. ❜ ❛ I am not some man acting out of rage and then thinking later. I am a woman. ❜ ❛ We tip toe around, figuring out how to get on your good side… But you don’t have a good side. ❜ ❛ Put another glass of Scotch on top of it and just deal with it. ❜ ❛ Pretending is what’s real. Every married couple alive pretends. ❜ ❛ Buying into the delusion that there’s any way to live together, to get through an entire life together, that’s… Well, that’s the fantasy. That’s pretending. ❜ ❛ You did this! You ruined our relationship! You killed us! You killed us, _____. Don’t you see that? Don’t you see what you did? We never had a chance. ❜ ❛ You think you’re family, but you’re nothing but the help. And you don’t even know it. ❜ ❛ But thank you… for reminding me that when I decide to kill you, I need to do it all by myself. ❜ ❛ So you can cheat and I can’t? Is that it? Well, that is one hell of a double standard. ❜ ❛ Well, guess what. You’re alone! The path that you walk is not my path. The shoes that you stand in are not my shoes. We are not equals, nor will we ever be. You are a-lone! ❜ ❛ You! You ruined our relationship! You shut me down. You locked the door. You killed us. ❜ ❛ I never blamed you. It wasn’t your fault you didn’t want me. “Poor ____. My poor wife’s dried up. She can’t control her body or libido.” But it turns out that was a lie. ❜ ❛ It wasn’t that you didn’t want sex, it was that you didn’t want me because you’re all hot and bothered for ______. ❜ ❛ I have spent all this time feeling guilty, feeling like a monster, feeling like I broke us! But it was you. ❜ ❛ How does this go? What are the rules? ❜ ❛ When you licked my face, when you put your tongue on my cheek, apparently that was just what you needed to get in the mood to rip my molars out, right? ❜ ❛ You put your tongue in my mouth, and now I deserve to live? That’s a thing? That’s how it goes? ❜

I like things that are classic and understated, but I also have a side of me that loves things that are wild, so I am always trying to find a marriage between the two. I hate the idea of anything being too trendy or boxed into one space. (x)

But he was always mine, or at least he should’ve been. ❜ ❛ If we’re going to die, can we do it now so I don’t have to listen to the two of you? ❜ ❛ It’s my turn! He suffers. He hurts. He  burns. I’m tired of carrying the cross. Let him pick it up now. ❜ ❛ I want his head in the fire and I want to see him burn. I want to hand him the one piece of news that will destroy him and I want to watch his face when it happens. ❜ ❛ Somebody out there wants me dead. ❜ ❛ Don’t patronize me like I’m some hysterical teenage girl at the beginning of my cycle. ❜ ❛ It hurts until it doesn’t. You think it’s going to break you, but it won’t. You may not sleep as well at night, but you will be fine. Numb, but numb and fine are the same. ❜ ❛ You’re worried about him cheating on me? That’s… oddly sweet. ❜ ❛ I’d say this a new low. ❜ ❛ You don’t have to love me, but we are in this hell together and the flames are burning both of us with equal intensity, baby, so the least you can do is be my friend. ❜ ❛ I just don’t understand why I have to apologize for his affair. ❜ ❛ Give any piece of trailer trash a push-up bra and a microphone and those stupid flyovers will eat it up like fried Twinkies. ❜ ❛ As long as she’s still alive, well, she’s your flaw. Your Achilles heel. Which makes her my weapon. ❜ ❛ So cheers, baby. Drink up. I live to fight another day. ❜ ❛ I’d lose… Our little war, I’d lose. ❜ ❛ That’s impossible. A lady never gets drunk. ❜ ❛ You’re drunk, _____. ❜ ❛ The upsetting thing about being as educated as I am and as intelligent as I am is that being the First Lady is profoundly boring. ❜ ❛ Aren’t you part of ‘they’ now? One-third of some secret, unholy trinity? ❜ ❛ This is me being in love with another woman. ❜ ❛ Does it ever bother you? All the lies, all the pretending? And that’s not an accusation cause I do it too and I do it well. ❜ ❛ She’s perfect, but she is not you. ❜ ❛ You are the one I like to ride, but no one will ever ride you like I do. ❜ ❛ I’m just a twisted sociopath who gets what she wants, no matter who gets bulldozed along the way. ❜ ❛ I can’t do this… Be with you. I can’t be with you. I’m sorry. ❜ ❛ You love me. You love me! ❜ ❛ I can’t be with you. It’s not even that I can’t, I don’t want to. ❜ ❛ You’re not good enough for me. ❜ ❛ You’re weak. You need me too much. Need me to tell you what to do and how to feel and– you were never an option for me. ❜ ❛ You’re an escape, someone to toy with. You’re a yo-yo, a booty call, a side piece. ❜ ❛ Frankly, it’s embarrassing that you still haven’t realized, after all this time, that if we were together – actually together – I would tear right through you. Destroy you. ❜ ❛ You’re scared of what we have… Of having something real. ❜ ❛ You’re wrong. I’m not scared. I may be horrible, because I’m abandoning you, because I always abandon you, but I’m not scared. Not the least bit. ❜ ❛ You’re wrong. And pathetic. ❜ ❛ I could tell you five minutes from now that I want to be with you, that I want to save you… You would crawl back to me, forgive me, every single time. ❜ ❛ He is who I choose. He is who I will always choose. You are just a lesser version of him, a sad reminder of the man I truly deserve. ❜ ❛ I will slit his throat. If he learns that I’m the one who made you break his heart, that too will force me to slit his throat. ❜ ❛ If I were you, I would pick up whatever chips I have left and run. ❜ ❛ I’m sorry, the truth does not work. It does not work for me. ❜ ❛ If you try to tell that disgusting fairytale, I will make such a scene. ❜ ❛ I will open up our closet and I will pull out our dirty laundry with the world. I am that tired. ❜ ❛ What’d you call me? Ornamental? Not functional? I am a rose dying on a vine here. ❜ ❛ You missed out on your happy ending today. ❜ ❛ Her being blown to bits… That’s your dream, isn’t it? ❜ ❛ I am spectacular, but I can’t compete with religious fervor. ❜ ❛ I thought, hey! Let’s get some estrogen in here, see what happens! ❜ ❛ What’s wrong? What’s wrong? What is wrong? This is my life! That is what’s wrong! ❜ ❛ I am tired of doing everything myself! I am alone here! ❜ ❛ Let’s not pretend we’re something we’re not. ❜ ❛ If you knew the sacrifices I have made, the things I have given up, and the pieces of myself that I have given away for you… and you treat me this way? You declare war on me and you shame me and you make me beg for scraps when I have done nothing but fight for you. ❜ ❛ When I was faced with the chance to cheat, I kept my knees together and I said no. ❜ ❛ What does it feel like? To be so hot for someone, to be so turned-on by them that you would put everything you ever worked for at risk? Does it feel good? Is it an amazing high? ❜ ❛ Really? So me sticking my fingers down your throat, that was what, a typical Tuesday night? ❜ ❛ Do you want me to thank you? Thank you for saving me from my sad little suicide attempt? ❜ ❛ Are you insane like him, or just stupid? ❜ ❛ You’re ornamental. Not functional. So don’t come in here and try to use your brain because no one cares! ❜ ❛ You always did know just the right way to hurt me. ❜ ❛ Relax, I’m kidding… For now. ❜ ❛ I’m sick of smiling. I’m sick of acting like we’re happy. ❜ ❛ She’s not my mistress anymore, so buck up. You won. ❜ ❛ We can’t always get what we want, can we? ❜ ❛ I thought you tried to kill me, the night I was shot. ❜ ❛ I would never try to kill you. ❜ ❛ You’re the only one who has always been honest who you were. ❜ ❛ Do you love me? Enough to… to be on my side? No matter what happens. ❜ ❛ I have never left my side. You left mine, but I never left yours. ❜ ❛ And yes, I do love you. No matter what. I have always loved you. No matter what. ❜ ❛ We’re in this together, okay? We have to be in this together because I don’t have anybody else. I don’t. You’re all I have. ❜ ❛ It’s you and me. ❜ ❛ I am not some man acting out of rage and then thinking later. I am a woman. ❜ ❛ We tip toe around, figuring out how to get on your good side… But you don’t have a good side. ❜ ❛ Put another glass of Scotch on top of it and just deal with it. ❜ ❛ Pretending is what’s real. Every married couple alive pretends. ❜ ❛ Buying into the delusion that there’s any way to live together, to get through an entire life together, that’s… Well, that’s the fantasy. That’s pretending. ❜ ❛ You did this! You ruined our relationship! You killed us! You killed us, _____. Don’t you see that? Don’t you see what you did? We never had a chance. ❜ ❛ You think you’re family, but you’re nothing but the help. And you don’t even know it. ❜ ❛ But thank you… for reminding me that when I decide to kill you, I need to do it all by myself. ❜ ❛ So you can cheat and I can’t? Is that it? Well, that is one hell of a double standard. ❜ ❛ Well, guess what. You’re alone! The path that you walk is not my path. The shoes that you stand in are not my shoes. We are not equals, nor will we ever be. You are a-lone! ❜ ❛ You! You ruined our relationship! You shut me down. You locked the door. You killed us. ❜ ❛ I never blamed you. It wasn’t your fault you didn’t want me. “Poor ____. My poor wife’s dried up. She can’t control her body or libido.” But it turns out that was a lie. ❜ ❛ It wasn’t that you didn’t want sex, it was that you didn’t want me because you’re all hot and bothered for ______. ❜ ❛ I have spent all this time feeling guilty, feeling like a monster, feeling like I broke us! But it was you. ❜ ❛ How does this go? What are the rules? ❜ ❛ When you licked my face, when you put your tongue on my cheek, apparently that was just what you needed to get in the mood to rip my molars out, right? ❜ ❛ You put your tongue in my mouth, and now I deserve to live? That’s a thing? That’s how it goes? ❜

HOZIER  LYRIC  MEME: PT. ONE

a  compilation  of  various  lyrics  from  my  Lord  and  Savior,  HOZIER.

TAKE  ME  TO  CHURCH:

❝ every  sunday's  getting  more  bleak. ❞

❝  we  were  born  sick,  you  heard  them  say  it. ❞

❝  the  only  heaven  i’ll  be  sent  to,  is  when  i’m  alone  with  you. ❞

❝  i’ll  tell  you  my  sins  and  you  can  sharpen  your  knife. ❞

❝  to  keep  the  goddess  on  my  side,  she  demands  a  sacrifice. ❞

❝  that’s  a  fine  looking  high  horse. ❞

❝  we've  a lot  of  starving  faithful. ❞

❝  no  masters  or  kings  when  the  ritual  begins. ❞

❝  there  is  no  sweeter  innocence  than  our  gentle  sin. ❞

ANGEL  OF  SMALL  DEATH  AND  THE  CODEINE  SCENE:

❝  toying  somewhere  between  love  and  abuse. ❞

❝  shaking  the  wings  of  their  terrible  youths. ❞

❝  no  more  alone  or  myself  could  i  be. ❞

❝  bloody  and  raw,  but  i  swear  it  is  sweet. ❞

❝  and  lease  this  confusion,  i'll  wander  the  concrete. ❞

JACKIE  AND  WILSON:

❝  so  tired  trying  to  see  from  behind  the  red  inj my  eyes. ❞

❝  no  better  version  of  me  i  could  pretend  to  be  tonight. ❞

❝  'cause  with  my  mid-youth  crisis  all  said  and  done,  i  need  to  be  youthfully  felt.  ❞

❝ we'll  steal  her  Lexus,  be  detectives,  ride  round  pickin'  up  clues.  ❞

❝  lord  it'd  be  great  to  find  a  place  we  could  escape  sometime.  ❞

❝ every  version  of  me  dead  and  buried  in  the  yard  outside. ❞

SOMEONE  NEW:

❝  you  knew  who  i  was  with  every  step  that  i  ran  to  you. ❞

❝  would  things  be  easier  if  there  was  a  right  way ?  ❞

❝  honey,  there  is  no  right  way. ❞

❝  there's  an  art  to  life's  distractions. ❞

❝  some  like  to  imagine  the  dark  caress  of  someone  else. ❞

❝  i  guess  any  thrill  will  do. ❞

❝  the  stranger  the  better.  ❞

TO  BE  ALONE:

❝  never  felt  too  good  in  crowds. ❞

❝  all  i've  ever  done  is  hide  from  our  times. ❞

❝  but  you  don't  know  what  hell  you  put  me  through. ❞

❝  it  feels  good  to  be  alone  with  you. ❞

❝  there  are  questions  i  can't  ask. ❞ 

❝  we  should  run  away. ❞

FROM  EDEN.

❝  there's  something  tragic  about  you.  ❞ 

❝  there's  something  lonesome  about  you.  ❞

❝  get  closer  to  me. ❞

❝  idealism  sits  prison,  chivalry  fell  on  it's  sword. ❞

❝  innocence  died  screaming,  honey  ask  me,  i  should  know. ❞

❝  babe,  there's  something  wretched  about  this. ❞

❝  oh,  what  a  sin. ❞ 

SEDATED:

❝  just  a  little  rush  babe. ❞

❝  to  feel  dizzy,  to  derail  the  mind  of  me. ❞

❝  you  and  i  nursing  on  a  poison  that  never  stung. ❞

❝  something  isn’t  right. ❞

❝  i  keep  catching  little  words,  but  the  meanings  thin. ❞

❝  we're  slaves  to  any  semblance  of  touch. ❞

❝  darlin’, don't  you  stand there watching. ❞

❝  free  and  young, and  we  can  feel  none  of  it. ❞

WORK  SONG:

❝  is  that  the  kind'a  way  to  face  the  burning  heat ?  ❞ 

❝  she/he/you  give  me  toothaches  just  from  kissin'  me. ❞

❝  no  grave  can  hold  my  body  down. ❞

❝  i  was  three  days  on  a  drunken  sin. ❞

❝  heaven  and  hell  were  words  to  me . ❞

LIKE  REAL  PEOPLE  DO:

❝  i  had  a  thought,  dear. ❞

❝  why  were  you  digging  ?  ❞

❝  what  did  you  bury  ?  ❞

❝  honey,  just  put  your  sweet  lips  on  my  lips.  ❞

❝  i  could  not  ask  you  where  you  came  from.  ❞

❝  we  should  just  kiss  like  real  people do.  ❞

IT  WILL  COME  BACK:

❝  you  know  better  than  to  look  at  me  like  that. ❞ 

❝  you  know  better  than  to  talk  to  me  like  that.  ❞

❝  don’t  give  it  a  hand,  offer  it  a  soul. ❞

❝  jesus  christ,  don’t  be  kind  to  me.  ❞

❝  don’t  let  me  in  with  no  intention  to  keep  me.  ❞

❝  you  don’t  understand. ❞

❝  honey,  don’t  feed  me,  i  will  come  back.  ❞

❝  that’s  a  kindness  you  can’t  avoid.  ❞

❝  give  me  mercy.  ❞

❝  you’ll  hear  me  howling  outside  your  door.  ❞
